5'8" Burrito

Le Burrito

The California groms who helped test and develop this board called it the “Burrito” because of its outline shape. The name stuck because, just like its namesake, this board is satisfying and addictive. It is the right board for surfers who love to put in a lot of hours in the water, even when the surf is less than perfect. This board is uniquely balanced to provide maximum floatation and plane surface right where you need it to catch small waves and fly across flat sections. Turn sloppy beach breaks into fun, liquid skate parks with a Burrito!

About the shape : Slight vee under the nose to concave to double concave under the tail for this little piece of dynamite. The tapered foils of the nose and tail reduce swing weight and maintain optimum sensitivity for maximum performance.

Philosophy

Paddling out to the peak at dawn, walking through the woods in search of a new break, having a chat about the session around the campfire at sunset… EARTH Surf is much more than just surfing. It is a way of life, in close interaction with nature, where exploration and adventure prevail on performance under the spotlight. It is taking you back to the essence of free surfing, be as one with the environment and take this whole journey as an escape from the outside world, fun and relaxing, Deep into Nature.

At EARTH Surf, our mantra Deep into Nature translates in the way we behave and in the way we built every board in our range. Our board is the only tool we use to engage and interact with our surroundings. We feel the same principles that guide us in our daily lives should be applied to the equipment we build and use. Our new EARTH Surf range uses techniques and materials that respect the environment in which they are used: Flax fiber. Paulownia wood. Matt Varnish-Free finish. Woodcore fins.

Results are surprisingly light, beautiful and robust boards with a natural matt wooden finish. In short, an EARTH Surf board will be your loyal travel companion for all your surfing adventures.

Technology

We have carefully selected materials which are bio-sourced and also have the necessary technical properties to ensure solid construction and performance. Flax fiber, Paulownia wood and Cork wood have been tested and proven in other industries and they now play a key role in the sourcing and production of EARTH SURF & SUP boards. Looking towards the future, potential areas of ongoing development include the sourcing of materials for the foam core, the resins used in EARTH SURF & SUP boards, and the packaging. We currently use polystyrene foam for the core of EARTH SURF & SUP boards. While this foam is recyclable it is nonetheless a petroleum derivative. Research of alternative materials continues and we plan to transition to a bio-sourced material as soon as feasible. The same is true of bio-resins. For now we continue to use epoxy resin due to the limitations in performance of currently available bio-resins. We will move to a new resin as soon as an acceptable alternative is found. Finally, we plan to optimize the packaging of EARTH SURF & SUP boards as soon as a feasible and a practical solution has been found.

Philosophy

Paddling out to the peak at dawn, hiking through the forest in search of a new break, gliding silently across the surface of a glassy lake, exploring new waterways, reminiscing about the session around a campfire at sunset… EARTH SURF & SUP is an outdoor lifestyle closely connected with nature where exploration and adventure prevail. It’s taking you back to the essence of free surfing, adventure paddling, life on the water. Escape from the world on an adventure Deep into Nature for an afternoon, a week-end, a lifetime.

At EARTH SURF & SUP our mantra, Deep into Nature, is as much about the equipment we use as the places we go. The boards are the tools we use to engage and interact with our surroundings. We feel the same principles that guide us in our daily lives should be applied to the equipment we build and use. EARTH SURF & SUP is a full range of products which, wherever possible and feasible, aim to build and source our gear with construction techniques and materials that respect the environment in which they are used: A focus on bio-sourced, renewable materials. A production process that is more respectful of sustainable development, limiting waste by minimizing the use of fossil fuels, painting & toxic resins. A commitment to ongoing research and development to further our commitment to these principals.

Unfortunately it is simply not possible today to build a board with zero impact on the environment. For example, at the core of every EARTH SURF & SUP board is an EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) core, as no other feasible alternative exists. However, with EARTH we’ve made the pledge to be better, and to continually develop the range of products so that wherever possible, we will make changes that make a difference.
